Description

DISPOSITIF POUR LE LIAGE DE LA VIGNE, OU AUTRES PLANTES PALISSABLES.  DEVICE FOR BINDING THE VINE, OR OTHER PALISSIBLE PLANTS.
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif pour le liage de la vigne, ou autres plantes palissables, au moyen d'un ruban adhésif.  The present invention relates to a device for tying the vine, or other palisable plants, by means of an adhesive tape.
Le liage de la vigne, ou autres plantes, consiste en la pose de liens réunissant les sarments, ou branches, aux fils de palissage afin de maintenir et de guider la végétation dans sa croissance.  The binding of the vine, or other plants, consists of laying links joining the branches, or branches, to the trellising wires in order to maintain and guide the vegetation in its growth.
Actuellement différents liens sont utilisés pour le liage de la vigne, ces liens consistant, soit en du fil de fer enrobé, ou non, de papier, soit en du fil élastique ou des rubans en matière plastique dont on solidarise les extrémités au moyen d'une agrafe métallique.  Currently, various links are used for tying the vine, these links consisting either of wire, coated or not, with paper, or of elastic wire or plastic ribbons, the ends of which are secured by means of a metal clip.
Toutefois la mise en place de ces liens n'est pas aisée, nécessitant de recourir à des outils de pose lourds et difficiles à manipuler. D'autre part, les agrafes mises en oeuvre dans certaines techniques de liage peuvent ne pas se dégrader assez rapidement et tomber dans la vendange au moment de la récolte, tandis que les liens en fil de fer peuvent blesser la végétation ou le manipulateur.  However, the establishment of these links is not easy, requiring the use of heavy installation tools which are difficult to handle. On the other hand, the staples used in certain tying techniques may not deteriorate quickly enough and fall into the harvest at the time of harvest, while the wire links can injure the vegetation or the manipulator.
On connaît également des dispositifs permettant de lier différentes plantes au moyen d'un ruban adhésif, notamment celui décrit dans le document FR-A-2.188.940. Toutefois ce dispositif est d'une utilisation mal adaptée au liage de la vigne, et est plutôt réservé à un usage temporaire comme par exemple le liage des plantes dans un jardin, du fait qu'il est d'une manipulation longue et difficile, et nécessite un dégagement suffisant autour du rameau pour laisser passer l'ensemble du dispositif.  Devices are also known which make it possible to link different plants by means of an adhesive tape, in particular that described in document FR-A-2,188,940. However, this device is of a use ill-suited to the binding of the vine, and is rather reserved for a temporary use such as for example the binding of plants in a garden, because it is of a long and difficult handling, and requires sufficient clearance around the branch to allow the entire device to pass.
La présente invention vise à remédier à ces divers inconvénients en proposant un dispositif de liage de la vigne ou autres plantes palissables au moyen d'un ruban adhésif, ce dispositif étant d'une utilisation simple, pouvant être mis en oeuvre en un seul mouvement. The present invention aims to remedy these various drawbacks by proposing a device for tying the vine or other palisable plants by means of a adhesive tape, this device being of simple use, being able to be implemented in a single movement.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet en effet, dans un même mouvement, de dérouler le ruban adhésif, d'entourer la branche et le fil de palissage, de réunir les deux extrémités du ruban adhésif et de le couper, tout en préparant un nouveau liage.  The device according to the invention makes it possible, in the same movement, to unwind the adhesive tape, to surround the branch and the trellising wire, to join the two ends of the adhesive tape and to cut it, while preparing a new one. binding.
Le dispositif selon l'invention présente à cet effet les caractéristiques figurant dans la partie caractérisante de la revendication indépendante.  The device according to the invention has for this purpose the characteristics appearing in the characterizing part of the independent claim.
Les avantages et les caractéristiques du dispositif selon l'invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente deux modes de réalisation non limitatifs.  The advantages and characteristics of the device according to the invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which refers to the appended drawing, which represents two non-limiting embodiments thereof.

- la figure 9 représente une vue partielle en perspective d'un détail de la figure 6.  FIG. 9 represents a partial perspective view of a detail of FIG. 6.
Si on se réfère à la figure 1 on peut voir qu'un dispositif 1 selon l'invention comporte un corps 10 plat renfermant dans sa partie arrière 11 un rouleau 2 de ruban adhésif 20.  Referring to FIG. 1, it can be seen that a device 1 according to the invention comprises a flat body 10 enclosing in its rear part 11 a roll 2 of adhesive tape 20.
Sa partie avant 12 abrite une roue en étoile 3 à six branches 30, montée en rotation libre autour d'un axe transversal 31, l'extrémité de chacune des branches 30 étant munie d'un petit cylindre 32 d'axe parallèle à l'axe 31 de la roue dentée 3 et de longueur sensiblement égale à la largeur du ruban adhésif 20.  Its front part 12 houses a star wheel 3 with six branches 30, mounted in free rotation about a transverse axis 31, the end of each of the branches 30 being provided with a small cylinder 32 with an axis parallel to the axis 31 of the toothed wheel 3 and of length substantially equal to the width of the adhesive tape 20.
Les branches 30 sont réparties en trois paires 33, les branches 30 d'une paire 33 étant enserrées par des parois latérales 34 débordant leurs extrémités et séparées par l'espace 35 séparant deux branches 30 adjacentes de deux paires 33 voisines.  The branches 30 are distributed in three pairs 33, the branches 30 of a pair 33 being enclosed by side walls 34 extending beyond their ends and separated by the space 35 separating two adjacent branches 30 from two neighboring pairs 33.
L'axe 31 de la roue en étoile 3 traverse transversalement le corps 10 du dispositif 1 à courte distance de son bord inférieur 13, qui est rectiligne, de manière à ce qu'en dépasse complètement une paire 33 de branches 31.  The axis 31 of the star wheel 3 crosses transversely the body 10 of the device 1 a short distance from its lower edge 13, which is rectilinear, so that a pair 33 of branches 31 completely exceeds it.
Un doigt 4 en arc de cercle, articulé par une de ses extrémités 40 sur la partie avant 12 du corps 10 du dispositif 1, recouvre partiellement la partie de la roue en étoile 3 débordant du bord inférieur 13 du corps 10, et est appliqué par un ressort 41 sur les extrémités cylindriques 32 des branches 30, entre les parois latérales 34.  A finger 4 in an arc, articulated by one of its ends 40 on the front part 12 of the body 10 of the device 1, partially covers the part of the star wheel 3 projecting from the lower edge 13 of the body 10, and is applied by a spring 41 on the cylindrical ends 32 of the branches 30, between the side walls 34.
Si on se référé également à la figure la on peut voir que sur le doigt 4 est fixé un dispositif de coupe du ruban adhésif, constitué d'une lame 5 basculant par son milieu dont une des extrémités comporte un couteau 50 capable, sous l'effet d'un mouvement de basculement, de traverser le doigt 4 par une fente transversale, perpendiculairement à celui-ci, l'autre extrémité 51 de la lame 5 débordant à l'intérieur de l'arc formé par le doigt 4, et étant maintenue en position au moyen d'un ressort 52 de faible résistance. If we also refer to Figure 1a we can see that on finger 4 is fixed a device for cutting the adhesive tape, consisting of a blade 5 rocking through its middle, one end of which comprises a knife 50 capable, under the effect of a tilting movement, of crossing the finger 4 through a transverse slot, perpendicular to the latter, the other end 51 of the blade 5 projecting inside the arc formed by finger 4, and being held in position by means of a spring 52 of low resistance.
Le ruban adhésif 20 est partiellement déroulé de manière à passer sur les extrémités cylindriques 32 des branches 30 débordant le bord inférieur 13 du corps 10, sa face non adhesive au contact desdites extrémités 32, et son extrémité 21 adhérant à la face interne du doigt 4 en regard de l'extrémité 32 de la branche 30 la plus éloignée du rouleau 2 de la paire 33 qui déborde le bord inférieur 13 du corps 10.  The adhesive tape 20 is partially unwound so as to pass over the cylindrical ends 32 of the branches 30 projecting from the lower edge 13 of the body 10, its non-adhesive face in contact with said ends 32, and its end 21 adhering to the internal face of the finger 4 opposite the end 32 of the branch 30 furthest from the roller 2 of the pair 33 which projects beyond the lower edge 13 of the body 10.
Si on se réfère maintenant aux figure 2, 3, 4 et 5, on peut voir qu'en utilisation le dispositif 1, qui est tenu à la main par une poignée 14, est approché du sarment 6 à lier, qui est maintenu manuellement contre le fil 60 de palissage, de manière que ce sarment 6 vienne au contact du bord inférieur 13 du corps 10 (figure 2).  Referring now to Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5, we can see that in use the device 1, which is held by hand by a handle 14, is approached the branch 6 to be tied, which is held manually against the wire 60 for trellising, so that this branch 6 comes into contact with the lower edge 13 of the body 10 (FIG. 2).
Puis (figure 3) en exerçant un mouvement de translation horizontale d'avant en arrière représenté par la flèche M, qui fait glisser le bord inférieur 13 sur le sarment 6, celui-ci vient au contact du ruban adhésif 20 et s'engage dans l'espace 35 ménagé entre deux paires de branches 30, respectivement 330 et 331. Si on se réfère à la figure 3a on peut voir qu'à ce stade de la manoeuvre le ruban adhésif 20 adhère déjà à la moitié de la circonférence du sarment 6.  Then (FIG. 3) by exerting a horizontal translational movement from front to back represented by the arrow M, which slides the lower edge 13 onto the branch 6, the latter comes into contact with the adhesive tape 20 and engages in the space 35 formed between two pairs of branches 30, 330 and 331 respectively. If we refer to FIG. 3a, we can see that at this stage of the operation the adhesive tape 20 already adheres to half the circumference of the branch 6.
En continuant le mouvement M, on peut voir Continuing the movement M, we can see
(figure 4) que le sarment 6 provoque la mise en rotation de la roue en étoile 3 sans que le doigt 4 ne bouge, ce qui a pour effet, du fait de l'immobilisation de l'extrémité 21 du ruban 20 sur la face interne du doigt 4, de permettre l'encerclement progressif du sarment 6 , comme vu à la figure 4a, ce mouvement ayant également comme conséquence le déroulement du ruban adhésif 20 du rouleau (Figure 4) that the branch 6 causes the star wheel 3 to rotate without the finger 4 moving, which has the effect, due to the immobilization of the end 21 of the ribbon 20 on the face internal of finger 4, to allow the progressive encirclement of the branch 6, as seen in FIG. 4a, this movement also having as consequence the unwinding of the adhesive tape 20 from the roll
En fin de mouvement (figure 5) on peut voir que, d'une part l'extrémité 21 du ruban adhésif 20, collée sur la face interne du doigt 4, se décolle sous la traction opérée par le sarment 6 et se colle au ruban adhésif 20 amené par la branche 30 de la paire de branches 331, entourant et liant ainsi le sarment 6 et le fil 60. D'autre part le sarment 6 exerce une pression sur la partie extrême 51 de la lame 5, et du fait de la plus faible résistance du ressort 52 par rapport au ressort 41, la lame 5 bascule, le couteau 50 traverse le doigt 4 et vient couper le ruban adhésif 20 tangentiellement à l'extrémité cylindrique 32 de la branche 30 qui a au préalable réalisé la liaison entre les deux parties adhésives du ruban 20, la poursuite du mouvement M provoquant l'effacement du doigt 4 et la libération du sarment 6 et du fil 60 liés. At the end of movement (FIG. 5) it can be seen that, on the one hand, the end 21 of the adhesive tape 20, glued to the internal face of the finger 4, peels off under the traction operated by the branch 6 and sticks to the tape adhesive 20 brought by the branch 30 of the pair of branches 331, thus surrounding and binding the branch 6 and the wire 60. On the other hand the branch 6 exerts pressure on the extreme part 51 of the blade 5, and due to the lower resistance of the spring 52 relative to the spring 41, the blade 5 rocks, the knife 50 crosses the finger 4 and comes to cut the adhesive tape 20 tangentially to the cylindrical end 32 of the branch 30 which has previously made the connection between the two adhesive parts of the tape 20, the continuation of the movement M causing the erasure of the finger 4 and the release of the branch 6 and the wire 60 linked.
Pendant le pivotement du doigt 4 l'extrémité 21 du ruban adhésif 20 fraîchement coupé est maintenue sur les extrémités des branches de la paire de branches 331 par les tôle latérales 34, et lors du retour du doigt 4 sous l'action du ressort 41, cette extrémité 21 du ruban adhésif 20 adhère à l'intérieur du doigt 4, le dispositif 1 se trouvant ainsi prêt à un nouvel emploi.  During the pivoting of the finger 4, the end 21 of the freshly cut adhesive tape 20 is held on the ends of the branches of the pair of branches 331 by the side plates 34, and when the finger 4 returns under the action of the spring 41, this end 21 of the adhesive tape 20 adheres to the interior of the finger 4, the device 1 thus being ready for a new use.
Si on se réfère maintenant aux figures 6 et 7 on peut voir un second mode de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention.  If we now refer to Figures 6 and 7 we can see a second embodiment of the device according to the invention.
Dans ce second mode de réalisation le dispositif comporte un corps 10 essentiellement constitué de deux flasques latéraux 7 réunis en partie supérieure par une poignée 70 et entre lesquels prennent place une roue en étoile 8, un levier, un doigt 4 et un rouleau 2, d'adhésif 20 qui seront décrits plus en détail ci-après.  In this second embodiment, the device comprises a body 10 essentially consisting of two lateral flanges 7 joined at the top by a handle 70 and between which take place a star wheel 8, a lever, a finger 4 and a roller 2, d adhesive 20 which will be described in more detail below.
En se référant également aux figures 8 et 9 on peut voir que la roue en étoile 8 comporte trois branches 80 à 60° dont les extrémités 81 sont renflées et arrondies et latéralement bordées par des parois 82, l'espace 81' entre deux parois 82 étant sensiblement égal à la largeur du ruban adhésif 20. La roue 8 est montée en rotation autour d'un axe 89 traversant transversalement les flasques 7 non loin d'un bord rectiligne 71 de ceux-ci de manière que le fond de l'echancrure 80' ménagée entre deux branches 80, qui est sensiblement ronde, soit approximativement tangent au bord rectiligne 71. Referring also to Figures 8 and 9 we can see that the star wheel 8 has three branches 80 to 60 ° whose ends 81 are swollen and rounded and laterally bordered by walls 82, the space 81 'between two walls 82 being substantially equal to the width of the adhesive tape 20. The wheel 8 is rotatably mounted around an axis 89 transversely crossing the flanges 7 not far from a rectilinear edge 71 thereof so that the bottom of the notch 80 'formed between two branches 80, which is substantially round, is approximately tangent to the rectilinear edge 71.
En se référant plus spécialement à la figure 8 on peut voir que la roue en étoile 8 comporte dans chacune des branches 80 un canal radial 83 débouchant d'une part, du côté de l'axe de rotation, dans une ouverture cylindrique 84 concentrique à l'axe de rotation 89, et d'autre part, du côté de l'extrémité 81 des branches 80, dans une cavité 85 renfermant une lame de coupe 86 dont le bord coupant 87 est susceptible de sortir de l'extrémité Referring more particularly to FIG. 8, it can be seen that the star wheel 8 comprises in each of the branches 80 a radial channel 83 opening out on the one hand, on the side of the axis of rotation, in a cylindrical opening 84 concentric with the axis of rotation 89, and on the other hand, on the side of the end 81 of the branches 80, in a cavity 85 containing a cutting blade 86 whose cutting edge 87 is capable of coming out of the end
81 par une fente 85' sous la poussée d'un piston 88 coulissant dans le canal radial 83. 81 by a slot 85 'under the thrust of a piston 88 sliding in the radial channel 83.
Le levier 9, qui présente une partie rectiligne prolongée par une partie arquée, est monté pivotant autour d'un axe 90, son pivotement étant limité par un axe 91 qui lui est solidaire et qui passe dans des orifices oblongs 72 pratiqués dans chacun des flasques 7. Le levier 9 est maintenu en position de repos par un ressort 73 représenté sur la figure 7.  The lever 9, which has a rectilinear part extended by an arcuate part, is pivotally mounted around an axis 90, its pivoting being limited by an axis 91 which is integral with it and which passes through oblong orifices 72 formed in each of the flanges 7. The lever 9 is held in the rest position by a spring 73 shown in FIG. 7.
L'axe 91 solidaire du levier 9 traverse également l'extrémité d'une bielle 93 dont l'autre extrémité est traversée par un axe 94 passant dans l'ouverture cylindrique 84 en regard des extrémités des pistons 88.  The axis 91 secured to the lever 9 also crosses the end of a connecting rod 93, the other end of which is crossed by an axis 94 passing through the cylindrical opening 84 opposite the ends of the pistons 88.
Le doigt 4 est monté pivotant en avant et audessus de la roue en étoile 8 autour d'un axe 74, positionné à proximité des bords des flasques 7 et de l'extrémité rectiligne du levier 9 , et il est rappelé par un ressort 42 de manière qu'au repos il se place sur l'extrémité 81 d'une branche 80 ou chevauche partiellement deux extrémités 81. The finger 4 is pivotally mounted in front and above the star wheel 8 around an axis 74, positioned near the edges of the flanges 7 and the straight end of the lever 9, and it is returned by a spring 42 of so that at rest it is placed on the end 81 of a branch 80 or partially overlaps two ends 81.
L'extrémité du doigt 4 traversée par l'axe 74 comporte en périphérie un creux 43 surmonté par une bosse 44 en arc de cercle dont le centre est confondu avec l'axe The end of the finger 4 crossed by the axis 74 has a hollow 43 at the periphery surmounted by a bump 44 in an arc, the center of which coincides with the axis
74, le creux 43 abritant l'extrémité 92 du levier 9 lorsque le doit 4 est en position de repos. 74, the recess 43 housing the end 92 of the lever 9 when the must 4 is in the rest position.
Le fonctionnement de ce deuxième mode de réalisation est semblable à celui du premier en ce qui concerne la mise en place de l'adhésif 20 : le sarment 6 et le fil 60 rassemblés sont mis en contact dans l'echancrure 80' dépassant du corps 10, une traction dans le sens de la flèche T sur le dispositif permettant d'envelopper le sarment 6 et le fil 60 en les faisant longer le bord 71, ce qui a pour effet de faire tourner la roue en étoile 8. Le prolongement de la traction T amorce, lorsque le sarment 6 et le fil 60 sont liés, le soulèvement du doigt 4, ce qui entraîne la sortie du creux 43 de l'extrémité 92 du levier 9, lequel bascule et amène l'extrémité inférieure 73' du ressort 73, qui est entraîné dans le basculement, à bloquer le ruban adhésif 20 et la roue en étoile 8 qui ne peut plus tourner. D'autre part la bielle 93 est déplacée radialement, l'axe 94 poussant le piston 88 en regard entraînant la sortie du bord de coupe 87 de la lame 86 qui vient couper le ruban adhésif 20. Enfin lorsque le doigt 4 n'est plus retenu par le sarment 6 et la fil 60, il est rappelé par le ressort 42 et il reprend sa place initiale, l'extrémité 21 du ruban adhésif 20 adhérant à son extrémité 45.  The operation of this second embodiment is similar to that of the first with regard to the positioning of the adhesive 20: the branch 6 and the wire 60 brought together are brought into contact in the notch 80 ′ protruding from the body 10 , a pull in the direction of arrow T on the device for wrapping the branch 6 and the wire 60 by making them run along the edge 71, which has the effect of turning the star wheel 8. The extension of the traction T initiates, when the branch 6 and the wire 60 are linked, the lifting of the finger 4, which causes the exit of the hollow 43 from the end 92 of the lever 9, which rocks and brings the lower end 73 ′ of the spring 73, which is driven in the tilting, to block the adhesive tape 20 and the star wheel 8 which can no longer rotate. On the other hand the connecting rod 93 is moved radially, the axis 94 pushing the piston 88 opposite causing the cutting edge 87 of the blade 86 to come out which comes to cut the adhesive tape 20. Finally when the finger 4 is no longer retained by the branch 6 and the wire 60, it is returned by the spring 42 and it returns to its initial position, the end 21 of the adhesive tape 20 adhering to its end 45.
En reprenant sa position le doigt 4 dégage l'extrémité 92 du levier 9 qui reprend sa place, de même que le ressort 73, ce qui a pour effet de débloquer la roue 8 et de rétracter la bielle 93, le piston 88 reprenant sa position initiale sous l'effet ressort de la lame de coupe 86, en sorte que l'outil est prêt pour un autre liage. Il va de soi que la présente invention ne saurait être limitée à la description qui précède et qui est susceptible de subir un certain nombre de modifications sans pour autant sortir du cadre de I'invention. By resuming its position the finger 4 releases the end 92 of the lever 9 which returns to its place, as does the spring 73, which has the effect of unlocking the wheel 8 and retracting the connecting rod 93, the piston 88 resuming its position initial under the spring effect of the cutting blade 86, so that the tool is ready for another binding. It goes without saying that the present invention cannot be limited to the above description and which is liable to undergo a certain number of modifications without departing from the scope of the invention.
